[Giveaway] Even your pet can go green on Earth Day!

Did you know pets actually have a carbon “pawprint”? Pets are great companions and additions to families. In fact, studies have shown that pets help increase happiness, reduce stress, and encourage a healthier lifestyle. On the other hand, many pet parents don’t realize that pets can have a significant impact on the environment. This year, in honor of Earth Day, go green and celebrate with your pet!

Tips to go green with your pet

Spay/neuter your pet

Pet shelters and rescues are filled with pets just waiting for their forever home, and there are countless homeless pets roaming the streets. Spaying or neutering your pet can help decrease the population of dogs and cats that don’t have homes by preventing unplanned litters.

Adopt a pet

Speaking of pets that need a home, consider adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue. By doing so, you’re saving 2 lives: the life of your pet and the open spot in the shelter that allows another pet to be brought in.

Recycle canned food containers

If you feed your pet wet food, it likely comes in a can. The best thing you can do is to recycle the can from your pet’s canned food. A more ecological option for feeding your pet canned food is to buy the biggest can of food so less metal is used by splitting the meals from the larger cans. Also, buying in bulk will not only save your wallet, it will minimize packaging.

Donate old towels and blankets to shelters and rescues

Shelters and rescues are always in need of supplies. Donate your pet’s gently used supplies like old towels, blankets, leashes, beds and toys.

Use eco-friendly cleaners and shampoo

Accidents happen and baths are inevitable. Switch over to environmentally friendly cleaners and shampoos. Not only are they better for the environment, but they generally contain ingredients that are less toxic to your pets. Plus, green products usually come in packaging that is recyclable or biodegradable.

Clean up your pet’s poop

This cannot be stressed enough. One of the best things pet parents can do to help the environment is pick up their pet’s waste and dispose of it properly. Both bacteria and intestinal parasites can be passed along in poop, which can harm the environment and even other pets that come into contact with it. Also, no one wants to step in dog poop when walking outside. Cleaning up after your pet reduces the chances of spreading parasites and disease as well as keeps your community clean.

You can go green with your cat’s waste too! Doggy poop bags aren’t just for dogs; you can use the bags to place your cat’s poop and clumped litter into! Try transitioning your cat to a biodegradable litter for a more eco-friendly option.

Poopy Packs are convenient, stylish, and best of all, degradable!

We have always picked up after our pet….. in fact, once my husband forgot to take along a bag and he went back to pick it up as soon as he got back home. We teach our grandchildren they have to pick up dog poo when they walk him. We also find poo from other dogs in our yard, not the dogs fault…. irresponsible dog ownership…. and those dogs are not small like ours….. if you know what I mean!🙄 We clean it up in our own yard….. just common sense… Right???

Poopy bags would come in very handy as we take our Beagle for many long walks around town. I am tempted to leave some out on my front lawn so other people will be prompted to pick up their dog’s mess. 🙂

Yes! I’ve always used grocery bags/or trash bags!! And…. these ones are made for it and so cute! I’d love to help my environment and accept these. I’d even share some with other pet owners!! Loveeee this!!! 🐕 🐶 💩 ❤️

I always pick up after my own dog and often pick up other’s poop in my walks because my little Pomeranian’s poop is very small so I have room in my bag. I want to keep my neighborhood clean even if some others don’t.

These bags sound like a great product!!! Biodegradable is perfect for poopy bags. I always use poopy bags and go thru hundreds. I always have a roll of them in my coat, jacket or pants pocket. You never know when you’re going to need them. Always be prepared!!! I would love to win a package!!!

Our family uses bio-degradable, environmentally, friendly pet waste bags. We would love the opportunity to try Poopy Packs. We also often use PetMeds items for our rescue dog of approximately 11 years. She is very healthy, acts several years younger than her age and has great agility. Thanks for this opportunity to try another brand.

W my two huskies need better bags have to double cheap ones. Have empty carriers two huskies that r service dogs too need bags for them. Tight budget but have to have them. Carry some in purses. Backpacks dogs backpacks. We need them even loan them when needed.
